RAINER SCHIMPF, SOUTH AFRICA “Deep in the underwater recesses of the Tsitsikamma Marine Protected Area, one finds an exquisite catalogue of hidden and secret marine life. This environment and its inhabitants deserve the ultimate protection by South Africa’s conservation institutions. The entire ecology of the area is fragile and the elements living within it are frequently the target of poachers and marine strippers who have little regard or conscience for the permanent damage they do to nature’s strategies of survival and procreation.” Canon EOS 5D MkII, 8-15mm f/4 @ 15mm, ISO 400, aperture f/6.3, shutter speed 1/250s, EV -0.3
